Mom: Hello. We might want to discuss the date of February 5 with you. Voice on phone: Sorry. We're booked until July, 2005. Mom: ...Hello. Any chance you're available on February 5 or 12? Voice on phone: Sorry. We're booked until August, 2005. Mom: Hello! We need you in February!! Any openings at all in February?!! Voice on phone: Maybe something in 2007. Cathy: The good ones are all taken! Cathy: Why should booking a reception site be any different than dating?
I’ll start, Quaby! Not sure why she’s expecting a miracle. Either you need to be flexible with the date, flexible with the venue, or start planning far in advance. Or have it at your house. .Hello Cathy clan! Finally the last day of school! We get to sleep in a bit, yay!Daoine, what a coincidence that you also had a trip to the vet yesterday! My cats are pretty bad too, but have gotten slower in their old age. The cats I took yesterday are strays that had a litter of kittens each, so I wanted to get them spayed before more kittens showed up. The worst part was probably when one mama escaped in my house and I was terrified she would find my 2 cats and there would be a fight. Fortunately that didn’t happen. Now we’re dealing with recovery. One mama did well and has forgiven me (she lets me pet her again and she purrs). The other mama had it worse yesterday so she’s in more pain. She won’t let me near her. I feel bad for her, but I don’t think there’s much I can do.Thanks, sis! It’s been a lot of work with these cats, but I wouldn’t have done it differently. I think one of the mamas likes it inside, but I don’t know anyone who would adopt her. The other one seems happy outside (although she may change her mind after all this free food). The problem is that it’s so hard to find homes for pets here, that there is little hope for these two. Sad…p.s. We go to the US July 9 – yay!!
